I passed in Sept 2011 & did not pay to ride it. This ride is incredible, you wonder why did they bother to build this road in the rock when it does not lead to the other side of the mountain. A lot of curves but you can't see whose coming down.You are riding IN the Julian Alps.When you reach the top,get off your bike and walk 2 min to check the panorama (Austria, Italy, Slovenia), you won't forget this one !

Have you ever imagine yourself looking the earth from
above like an astronaut? If yes then that's the road
you have to drive. In the top of the mountain you
will feel like an astronaut. PS you have to pay €5 tolls for this road
